The Weather Will Be A Factor

The Rocky Mount High baseball and softball games have been moved up to 4pm trying to beat the oncoming rains and severe weather. Northern Nash's games have been also mvoed up. The entire high school basketball season was dotted with snow and ice and by the time the last week of the season arrived teams just didn't have enough days to get in a full schedule.  The conference champions The Hunt Warriors missed out out by one game getting all their conference games in.

Fast forward three months and baseball enters the last  week of the season in much better shape than basketball as the only Hunt and Southern Nash gamed rainout Last Friday being only game on the schedule being behind, but then there is the weather forecast.  I haven't seen at this time the results of the Warrior-Firebird Monday night.

Both Tuesday's games and any make  up game lost on Tuesday due to the weather that would be played on Wednesday just might be in jeopardy because the forecast 90 per cent chance of rain both days which could push the Tuesday games all the way to Thursday and set up a Thursday/Friday back to back days this week to finish the season.

I don't want to even comment on the comments supposedly spoken by the LA Clippers owner Donald Sterling.  I see there is only one answer for the NBA.  A league that has 70 per cent of their players are black has to somehow or other force him to sell the team.   Here is the problem.  How can you punish a 82 year old man that when he bought the team for 20 million and make him sell the team when the team is worth 600 million?

Are you going to force him just turn over the team to us (NBA) for nothing?  Should the players just boycott the next game.  The Clippers were one of the favorites to win the west division and for the players to just lose on purpose takes playoff money out of their pocket.

Last night was the last game ever by the Charlotte Bobcats.  Today is the first day of the return of the Hornets.  Bring out all of that teal you have in your closet.
